The World's Largest Palm
The World's Largest Palm is a full-scale replica of the right hand of the Grand Buddha at Lingshan. It perfectly matches the shape and size of the original, created at a 1:1 scale. The palm stands an impressive 11.7 meters tall—equivalent to a three-story building—spans 5.5 meters in width, and has fingers with diameters of up to 1 meter. Its total weight reaches 13 tons, showcasing the majestic height of the Great Buddha. The palm is formed in the "Fear Not" mudra, symbolizing the dispelling of suffering and instilling courage in all beings. "Touch the Buddha’s hand to gain blessings and longevity." Visitors can touch the palm with good intentions, light a stick of incense, and let the Great Buddha remove your worries while blessing you with a lifetime of peace.
